my thoughts:
a lot of people distort scripture and their own beliefs to make it fit their lives.
we're self-centered & its our natural inclination.
a standard byproduct is the thought: "god's will is for me to be happy".
each day im reminded of the blatant falseness of this statement.
through hardships we...
grow.
learn.
trust.
become.
surrender.
break.
thank.
we are not called to happiness; we are called to joy.
sometimes joy & happiness coexist.
but sometimes our joy lives in times of despair.
sometimes it surfaces during anxiety & stress.

lately, this song sings the joy that resides in my being.
